Proverbs 15:21

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

To work out evil devices is as laughter to a fool; so wisdom is to a man of understanding.

Fools laugh at sin, but among the righteous there is favor.

or like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death.

A wise one fears and departs from evil, but the fool rages and is sure.

And to man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom! And to depart from evil is understanding!

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; all practicing them have good understanding; His praise stands forever.

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good conduct with meekness of wisdom.

To work out evil devices is as laughter to a fool; so wisdom is to a man of understanding.
